Hang on a minute. Two posters say that ABC radio is reporting Gatto reckons we didn't take illegal drugs and also that we did take illegal drugs. Does this Gatto bloke even know what illegal drugs are?

Do you want to be the one who questions him on that? Lol I'd say he is an expert in the field, unlike some of the self-appointed experts (more like clowns) littered all through the saga.

If anyone knows what happened at EFC at that time, I reckon he probably would, this whole sags is a bit like the conspiracies around JFK and the mob in the US.

I know the club has been screwed over a few times by Wally, but the more I hear about him, I almost feel sorry for him. He sounds likes hes a few quid short and easily impressionable.

At the TABFriend: Come on Wally we're all having a bet.Wally: But....I don't think... I canFriend: Mate where at the pub it's only a $20, whos going to know, You'll be right.Wally: Yeah, I'll be right....

In the dungeonDank: Mate, bit of a mix up, there's some invoices that came under your name, can you get them processed.Wally: But...whats itDank Nothing to worry about mate, already been cleared by the bosses, you'll be rightWally:OKDank: Thanks mate, oh and I need to catch you tomorrow about a spreadsheet I need you to set up

With the ElliotsElliot Snr: Mate you've been screwed over, look at how everyone else was looked after, don't you deserve something We'll just bluff them, you'll be rightWally: Yeah...I was screwed...yeah ok.

Similar issues surfaced between ASADA and Hibberd in regard to Cronulla. Hibberd was a supplier. According to Hibberd, ASADA threatened him when he refused to talk on the advice of his lawyer ( Stanton, who also represented Dank). There were earlier reports of an ASADA representative seemingly trying to entrap Hibberd in 2009

If Gatto used the term illegal drugs, it does not necessarily mean WADA banned. He could be hinting at cocaine use, referred to by Wallis or Elliott in that earlier Hun report.

No, it was a presenter error.The presenter said that Gatto claimed that he had evidence of EFC players taking illegal drugs. That was promptly followed by the audio of gatto saying he had evidence of EFC players taking 'legal' drugs.

On the eve of the AFL season, summer optimism has given way to nervous white-line fever.

Join our panel of experts, lead by host Chloe Saltau (The Age's Sports Editor) to discuss the big questions: how will Essendon bounce back from the drugs ban, has the women's league been a success, and will the Western Bulldogs fairy tale have a second chapter?

Rohan Connolly (The Age's Senior Football Writer), Caroline Wilson (The Age's Chief Football Writer) and Michael Gleeson (The Age's Senior Football Writer) are also on the panel. Don't miss the chance to hear from the experts first-hand and have your questions answered.

The consequences for Australian athletes and footballers in adopting the WADA code

MAR 11, 2017 — BREAKING NEWS:

Mr Steven Amendola, Partner Ashurst Lawyers, discusses the consequences for athletes under the existing WADA code, and explains why it may not be the best model to respond to anti-doping.

Mr Amendola explains:

"The consequences for athletes is that they have less rights than most Australian citizens if they’re investigated".

"....but you have the worst of all worlds if you are an athlete, you are just on an assembly line and you are disposable."

"...Look at what happened when CAS dealt with the appeal by WADA. They dealt with the Essendon players like they were a job lot. They tarred them all on the basis of some…and on the basis of not giving consideration to all the evidence in my opinion...".

"I thought that Court of Arbitration of Sport decision was a very poor decision"

"The view seems to be taken that because you are well paid and you're in the public eye, therefore your rights just diminish until effectively zero."

"Is that the way we want public policy to operate in this country? "

No.

The anti-doping framework has to be a proper regulatory framework and not based on backroom deals. ASADA do not appear to be accountable to the Australian Government.

Further, both the US Senate and UK Parliament have started inquiries, so should Australia, particularly because we have had the worst possible case.

“...they’re (ASADA) supposed to be conducting an investigation into anti doping, and yet there they are taking direction from the AFL about what the Interim Report should say, and how it should be structured. Is that independent? Is that...
